Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Basement window wells were rusting and corroding in Greenville, IL, so they were replaced with SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. It will never rust, rot, or corrode, and will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home!

A basement wall was becoming unstable and leaking Water in Greenville, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. 

Next, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This all-plastic, bright white, basement wall paneling provides a clean look for an unfinished basement. It prevents water vapor from seeping into the basement and drains any wall leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry all the time!

This Marion, Illinois sump pump was outdated and inefficient. Woods Basement Systems installed a new sump pump with a transferable lifetime warranty that keeps this basement DRY all year round.

Tina and Todd K. of Marion, Illinois experienced a moldy, musty basement when water made its way in where the floor meets the wall. Paul B., system design specialist, designed a solution to keep the basement dry.

Foreman Melvin F. installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier, to prevent water from escaping into the air and causing mold. CleanSpace guides water to WaterGuard which guides the water to the TwinPack sump pump system.

With this solution, Tina and Todd's basement will stay dry and free of mold and odor.

Corey K. of Marion, IL had water leaking into his partially finished basement. His painted foundation floors were stained from water seeping in and the wood frames behind his finished walls were water-damaged so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

As part of the system, Woods installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a drainage system that is installed under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement, as shown in the pictures. It’s situated away from any mud that may clog it as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump for removal.
